Are These Lost Malevich Masterpieces—or $190 Million Fakes?

An exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest (MNAC) features three purportedly long-lost paintings by Kazimir Malevich, valued between $160 million and $190 million. The works, loaned by Israeli businessman Yaniv Cohen, were allegedly stored under the mattress of his grandmother-in-law, Eva Levando, for decades. However, Ukrainian-American art historian Konstantin Akinsha has publicly questioned their authenticity, citing incomplete provenance and a lack of consensus from international experts. The museum has faced criticism for including the paintings without additional scholarly analysis in the show "Kazimir Malevich: Outliving History," curated by Mariana Dragu and sponsored by a dental clinic owned by Cohen.

Chicken buckets, baked beans, liters of coke: the final meals of death row inmates

Artist Julie Green spent 22 years painting the last meals of 1,000 death row inmates on ceramic plates, resulting in the exhibition "The Last Supper" at the Boise Art Museum. The cobalt-blue images on second-hand white plates include specific requests like tacos, doughnuts, fried chicken, and lobster, drawn from newspaper accounts of executions. The exhibition features plates from across the U.S., including two from Idaho, and was inspired by Green's reading of a 1999 newspaper article about a condemned man's final meal.

Tate reveals the main reason for its lower attendance figures

Tate museums have experienced a significant drop in attendance, with Tate Modern seeing 25% fewer visitors in 2024 compared to 2019, Tate Britain down 32%, and Tate St Ives down 37%. While domestic visitor numbers have recovered to 95% of pre-Covid levels, international visitors are at only 61%, particularly among European 16-to-24-year-olds, whose numbers fell from 609,000 in 2019-20 to 357,000 in 2023-24. The Art Newspaper's research, combining government data and Tate's internal studies, shows that external socioeconomic factors—including a one-tenth drop in EU visitors to the UK overall—are the primary driver, not curatorial programming as some critics have claimed.

Amid crackdowns on dissent, Russia’s private museums are threatened

Russia's private art museums, once symbols of post-Soviet integration into Western elite culture, are now struggling to survive amid increasing state repression and the war in Ukraine. The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, founded by Roman Abramovich and Dasha Zhukova, was raided by security services in 2024 and visited by right-wing activists demanding pro-war messaging; its founding director was replaced. Other institutions have closed entirely: the Institute of Russian Realist Art shut in 2019 after its founder Aleksei Ananyev fled embezzlement charges, and Art4.ru, Russia's first private contemporary art museum, closed in 2024 after a nationalist raid. The GES-2 House of Culture, financed by gas magnate Leonid Mikhelson, lost its visionary director shortly after opening and now operates under a lawyer.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced that its long-awaited David Geffen Galleries expansion will open in April 2026, over two decades after the project was first announced in 2001. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the $720 million serpentine structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and replaces several older buildings, increasing gallery space from 130,000 to 220,000 square feet. The project faced numerous setbacks, including public criticism of the design, concerns over the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the discovery of sabre-toothed tiger skulls during construction, pandemic delays, the departure of longtime donor The Ahmanson Foundation, and Zumthor's distancing from the project in 2023 due to cost compromises. A series of soft openings are planned for summer 2025 before the full public debut.

James White, a central figure in a long-running forgery ring producing fake artworks by Indigenous Canadian artist Norval Morrisseau, pleaded guilty in Ontario Superior Court to creating forged documents and trafficking forged artworks. White admitted to trafficking 502 fake works, some sold for tens of thousands of dollars. The plea follows a multi-year investigation called Project Totton, led by Inspector Jason Rybak of the Thunder Bay Police Service, which uncovered three large forgery networks operating in Ontario. Two other alleged accomplices, Paul Bremner and Jeffrey Cowan, still face charges, while earlier guilty pleas from David Voss and Gary Lamont resulted in five-year prison sentences.
